noise-canceling
Blocking ambient sound
Noise-canceling describes technology that reduces unwanted ambient sound, typically in headphones or earbuds.
Active noise-canceling devices use microphones to detect external sounds and generate opposing sound waves that neutralize them: I can't fly without my noise-canceling headphones.
Passive noise-canceling simply blocks sound through physical barriers like foam or tight seals.
